I wrote about this rose - which is outside our bedroom - in today’s newsletter. About how it took over a decade to bloom. About late bloomers and a song I love. If you fancy reading it (or listening to it) you can sign up here https://www.snapdragonlife.com/Friday_Letters/ or via my profile. #howihueit #simpleandstill #capturequiet #beautyyouseek #calm_collected #aseasonalway #aseasonalshift #cornersofmyworld #slowlived #slowandsimpledays #quietchaotics #ofsimplethings #beautyinsimplicity #floralstories #allthingsbotanical #underthefloralspell #slowfloralstyle #petalsandprops #nestandflourish #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #ihavethisthingwithflowers #moodforfloral #aseasonalway #slowlivingforlife #aflowerfilledlife
It is the generosity of sweet peas that I find so amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The more you pick the more you get. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Picked and plonked into jars, perfect to give away. #simpleandstill #gatherandcurate #growyourownflowers #gatheredstyle #nestandflourish #calm_collected #petalandprops #plantsmakepeoplehappy #cornersofmyworld #aseasonalway #cornersofmyhome #myhappyviews #myhomevibe #inspiredbynature #natureandnourish #slowdownwithstills #embracingtheseasons #ofsimplethings #foreverfaffing #collectandstyle #whimsicalwonderfulwild #tinytinymoments #aseasonalyear #mystoryoflight #scotland
Flowers so often remind me of people. These buff pink poppies, greyed magenta gorgeousness, were in @jennykingcome ‘s wedding bouquet. A yearly reminder of a wonderful couple. Here they are ravaged by heavy rain but still quite glorious. #growyourownflowers #wearetheark #cornersofmygarden #aseasonalway #thissimplescene #mindfulgardening #ayearinmygarden
The garden as the sun sinks - light through the hornbeam hedge. A blaze of colour for just a few minutes every evening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have been away. In London for a few days to celebrate it being 35 years since our first date. It should have been to a Marc Cohn concert, but when that was cancelled, we decided to go anyway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 35 years seems like an impossibly long time, it is forever and it is the blink of an eye. Like all the best things. #howihueit #simpleandstill #capturequiet #beautyyouseek #calm_collected #aseasonalway #aseasonalshift #cornersofmyworld #slowlived #slowandsimpledays #quietchaotics #wearetheark #ofsimplethings #beautyinsimplicity #floralstories #allthingsbotanical #underthefloralspell #slowfloralstyle #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #ihavethisthingwithflowers #moodforfloral #aseasonalway #slowlivingforlife #aflowerfilledlife
It is the last gasp of the columbines - their petals were scattered by overnight rain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I shall leave them to make their jaunty seed heads amongst the grass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you are looking for a plant that is happy in long grass you couldn't do better - in fact I think it is happier there than in a border - it uses the grass as a prop so doesn't blow over in sudden gusts. #momentslikethese #the_gentle_manifesto #daysofsmallthings #natureandnourish #cornersofmygarden #daysofsimpleandslow #ournaturedays #aquietmoment #pocketsofslow #wearetheark #aseasonalway #amomentofwonder
The bright orange flower Fox and cubs (Pilosella aurantiaca) arrived a few years ago - right at the top of the perennial meadow. Now it is gradually spreading down the slope, threading it’s way through the dark columbines. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s an invasive weed in a lot of countries but here it has a perfect level of scattering itself around - bright and glowing amongst the grass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #momentslikethese #the_gentle_manifesto #daysofsmallthings #natureandnourish #aseasonalway #daysofsimpleandslow #ournaturedays #aquietmoment #pocketsofslow #thesweetlifeunscripted #folkandstory
It is my birthday today and I intend to spend most of the day in the garden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are a couple of orders to send out and some seedlings to drop off, but then it will just be me and this little menace pottering around the vegetable patch and putting seedlings in the ground (and hopefully not digging them up). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then I will be away from the main Instagram feed for a couple of weeks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I will still pop up from time to time in the Studio Club stories feed, but otherwise I'll be on a social media break. 📷 @katgoldin #momentslikethese #the_gentle_manifesto #daysofsmallthings #natureandnourish #aseasonalway #daysofsimpleandslow #ournaturedays #aquietmoment #pocketsofslow #thesweetlifeunscripted #folkandstory #slowliving #mindfulgardening
My elder daughter Zoë asked for a stripy jumper knitted with wool dyed from the garden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are the finished skeins - currently curing in the studio - dyed with sweet cicely, dock, bay, birch and nettle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a month they will be ready to knit with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The slowest of slow fashion. #slowstitching #slowfashion #naturaldyeing #foragedcolour #foragedcolor #naturaldyersofinstagram #sustainablemaking #sustainablecraft #plantdyedyarn #plantdyes
